Concert program

Leevi Madetoja: Okon Fuoko, Op. 58

The ballet pantomime Okon Fuoko is one of Leevi Madetoja’s principal works. Madetoja’s magnum opus from 1927 is an adventure in the neo-classical style, with an Eastern flavour. Okon Fuoko is regarded as the Oulu-born composer’s last masterpiece, and its melodies as a demonstration of his skill in transforming the trends of his time into his own distinctive compositional style.

In the original story of the work, a Japanese puppet master falls in love with one of his own creations, with fatal consequences. The choreographer of the abstract ballet which will now be performed, Alpo Aaltokoski, parallels the story with today’s selfie culture: “The internet is like the cornucopia of wishes, where we can construct an ideal partner for ourselves, or try to make ourselves into one. Since time immemorial, human beings have projected their dreams onto various fantasies and artificial constructs.”

In co-operation with Alpo Aaltokoski Company and JoJo – Oulu Dance Centre
